There will be some visas that will be able to be applied for fully online and completed all via the online service and then an applicant will know the decision of their application in a quicker time slot.  This will be an improvement on the current system. The online service will also allow an applicant to upload the pictures that are required and all evidence and documentations to support the application, such as identity documents and information. An online processing system will mean a much more efficient system with much easier monitoring abilities.

Certain areas of immigration in New Zealand are already using the online system, by 2014 applicants will be able to apply fully online, provided the visa they are applying for is one that is available online such as a student visa, other areas that will be using this system by 2014 will be the border control.
